Welcome to my Poet Lady Chat Room. I would like to invite you to click on the chat box and type in a question, a suggestion, submit a poem, in other words – “chat with me.” I may, if you submit a poem, decide to feature it in my Poem of the Week section or, we may simply exchange ideas and suggestions about your poem.
This is a place to “talk” poetry with someone who has loved it all her life. I have a true passion for the possibilities of poetry and would love to hear your thoughts and/or read your poem. I will be happy to offer my reaction to your work and, based on over 40 years of teaching poetry, organizing, and conducting poetry workshops, working as a book review editor for an international poetry magazine, authoring five books of poetry and two textbooks on teaching poetry, send along my thoughts on ways to make your poem stronger and more impactful.
If you’re on my site, you have a connection to poetry. Feel free to connect with me – right here -right now, by typing your message into the “chat box” and clicking send. I’m waiting…
Your friend in poetry, Susan
FEATURED POEM
What has happened to this wonderful world?
where Everything has come to a standstill.
Are we responsible for this nature?
or we are just another face of disappointing beings
Is this what we honestly deserve?
No, I guess, we do not
But we are truly responsible for this tragedy
Another unwanted gift to wipe our fates entirely
We had taken the world for granted
By grabbing all the things it had to offer
And now we suffer unwanted times
Which we never thought to experience in our lives
The world outside is a marvelous place
Restored with many blessings in every way
It's a place to live, listen and breathe
To run our imaginations wild and free
And now I know, a day will come
The day when we might see another sun
When we will make the world stop
And there will be nothing left to fight for
We will make a new world that day.
With the chirping of birds and reduced traffic in the way.
When animals wouldn't fight for survival
And humans become the new world peace revivals.
Can there be anything more lovely,
We will be able to see the beauty of a growing old tree.
They will keep their existence without being cut down
And we will lie beneath them thanking the ground.
